This blog presents my experiences with Oracle Fusion Middleware

In this post I will describe how to create a custom skin and how to apply this skin to the BPM Worklist and the accessory humantasks.

Before I start explaining how to do this, I will first explain the relation between the worklist and humantasks. The BPM WorklistApp is a ‘stand-alone’ application that is deployed on the WebLogic Application Server. The same is true for the different Humantask projects. This means the Humantask projects are also deployed as ‘stand-alone’ application on the WebLogic Application Server. Every application is using a skin on it’s one. Using a custum skin means you have to apply the skin to every application separately.

I will first describe how to create a Custom skin and how to apply it to the BPM worklist. After that I will describe how to re-use this skin in the separate Humantask projects.

In my previous post I described how to send an email with attachment from Oracle BPEL (Sending an email with attachment from Oracle BPEL). This post described a rather simple approach to send emails. In this post I will describe an advanced email component as an alternative.

In the ‘simple’ approach the used variables of the email activity are a combination of static and dynamic parts. Static in the way that it often contains a default subject and/or body. Optionally extended with the content of BPEL variables (dynamic). Changes in the static parts result in a redeployment of the composite. Especially in the subject and body part this happens quite often.

I'm an experienced consultant in the field of process design and process modeling. Within this field system integration and IT-transcending business processes have my special interest.
Currently I’m specialist in Oracle technology like on-premise SOA and BPM suite (including all kind of related technology) and in the Cloud, OIC, PCS, ICS and VBCS.
